Biography
Antonio Halili was the Mayor of Tanauan in southern Luzon, and he rose to prominence during Rodrigo Duterte's war on drugs in the Philippines. In 2014, he started a contentious policy of forcing imprisoned drug traffickers to perform a "walk of shame", and he was nicknamed "the Duterte of Batangas" due to his strong anti-drug stance. In October 2017, he was stripped of his authority over the police in response to his harsh measures. He was also ironically placed on Duterte's list of people with narco ties, although Halili was actively opposed to drug dealers and their activities. On 2 July 2018, at a flag-raising ceremony in Tanauan, Halili was shot once in the chest by a sniper, and he later died at a hospital.
